We have received a copy of the map of the Shanghai Harbour, compiled by Mr. Y. Utue, surveyor, from the surveys of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board and published by that body. The map is an exceptionally fine piece of work and places on' record a considerable amount of information concerning the whole of the port, which the work embraces in its scope. Each section of the harbour with its moorings is shown in considerable dotal!, all the wharves, godowns and factories on either side of the river and also the river training works. As an example of the topographer's science the map is in every way worthy of the Board by which it is issued, but to the ordinary man in the street it is something more. It is a striking record of the growth of Shanghai and the industrial activities it now har-hours, for every riverside factory is shown together with its name and its approximate size, when the scale of 1 in 12,000 is taken into consideration. It may not have been intended to serve that purpose, but the map is an impressive witness on behalf of the case for a "greater Shanghai," for it shows in the most graphic manner the industrial importance which Shanghai has already achieved and holds out point ters showing what it might very well become. The price of the map is $2 and it may be obtained from the offices of the Board, who are to be congratulated on publishing a map which should be of great value to those whose work lies on the river and its banks.
